Located on a narrow walking street in Ortigia, this place is an authentic, old school spot with awesome food. Reasonably priced and with great service. The seafood and the pastas were fabulous. Pasta with sea urchin was my best dish in a ten day trip of Sicily. You can't go wrong here.

During a recent fly-drive to Sicily we stayed in Syracuse for 2 nights. On the second evening our hosts suggested a meal at Tavernetta which is on via Cavour in Ortigia – a favourite narrow tourist thoroughfare leading to the spectacular Cathedral square.

Excellent food, great menu with a wonderful selection ... We had two dinners here while visiting Ortigia and so glad we found it. Fresh food with excellent flavours and good prices.

Everything is fresh and served beautifully and unappetizing. A few minutes after we sat down a line formed outside. People stood waiting patiently and it is indicating...

Good Italian food.
We had Tuna carpaccio very fresh and nice taste. Followed by fresh seafood pasta with swordfish. Nice rich taste.

We were lucky enough to get a table for two, and sat watching endless people turned away because they were so busy. Quite a number commenting they'd seen it on Trip Advisor. Do we need to say more? go early or book.
Atmosphere, service and not least, the food were all excellent, highly recommended
